I just wanted to say "Thank You" to the Friends here for the support and
help I needed....for without You I wouldn't be writing this....the last two yrs have been a roller coaster for me...I can't tell you how many suicide attempts I had...because I don't remember....the thoughts seem to always be there....I spoke to Jean on the phone tonight, we spoke about our kids....and when we were done...I broke down and cried....it was like out of nowhere I realized I could not leave them alone...even though I'm not with them...I'm still their Mother...I thought of how screwed up my life is without my Mother and I WONT do that to them...they would be devastated forever....as I am for my Mother at the age of 38 still....and I didn't even know mine....they do....They would think I didn't Love them...they would want to know why forever...I just can't do that....after I threw up the pills tonight..it was like a peace came over me.....something I've never felt when trying to kill myself.....it was like for a moment..just brief...there was silence....I ask of my Friends here ....that if you ever notice me falling.....please pick me up.....and I'll be okay....Please remember that I am Forever Grateful for your support....I hope one day soon I'm going to be able to be happy again....and full of peace,,even if it's brief....Always.......Jennifer....I'm going to be okay....

I also think your meds just aren't working. Mine are working and I still have bad days but I like you think of my kids and now grandson. That is the thought you have to keep in your head is your children. It will get you through,

iam so grateful that you wrote this today.. i worried about you all night. sick to my stomach as i am sure you can understand.. thank god you are ok. please call your pdoc and get some new meds. so you dont have to go through this again. just know that you have friends here who will pick you up again should you ever fall again.. hugs ..marie

Jennifer....thank you for posting...see how many people care for you???

Remember...call your Psychatrist and tell her/him what you did....they will get you in first as a priority/emergency like I told you last night.

It may take a while like Evelyn said for the meds to work...you are NOT on the right cocktail yet...

Also, therapy and support from these boards/talking to friends on the phone will help.... I believe your attempt last night was a cry for help, and that is what we are here for...that is why I LOVE DS so much! plus , read curiousfishs post in the crisis center. there is a lot of good info there. hugs! xoxo Sandy

Hi everyone....I’ve asked this question awhile ago but with so many new people here since, I thought I’d ask it again..,There is something that I've wondered about on occasion so I'm finally going to ask the question. I know some of you by name and some by the name that you created. What I wonder is.....what does your username mean? You don't have to answer if you don't want to but I'm sure a...

Please forgive the intrusion.For many years DS was plagued by someone who would get people to talk about their sexual abuse as a child posing as someone who had suffered abuse, or as a parent of someone who had been abused or even as a counsellor.
